"Some of you youngsters will no doubt say "WTF is a classic rock band doing in a heavy metal list?" It is true that AC/DC has become darlings of the classic rock radio circuit, also their recent performance with the Rolling Stones in Canada to several hundred thousand people only goes to show that their appeal extends well outside of the metal realm. All this aside, that does not mean that their contribution to heavy metal in the 70's and 80's should be ignored! BACK IN BLACK is not only one of the best heavy metal albums of all time, it is also one of the best selling "normal" albums of all time as well!!"
I found this on some site doing top 100 metal albums.
First thing classic rock as a classification is horrible. It is a creation of radio stations for rock bands from 60s-early 80s.
They are a hard rock band. I don't give a shit what some website says, they are hard rock. They would classify themselves as rock and roll though. Either way they aren't metal, even if they have influenced metal a lot.
Then that site is ridiculously biased toward the 80s anyways
